Ah, welcome to the reviews on The Musical Hype! Albums, EPs, and songs [singles + tracks] of various styles are evaluated here – we don’t discriminate! All reviews are also available on the home page.

~ Album Reviews 💿 ~

Album reviews tend to follow a track-by-track format, commencing with an intro paragraph comprised of background information, and concluding paragraph that wraps things up. Also, GEMS 💎 – the best, highly recommended tracks – are selected at the end of each review. It should not come as a surprise to see the analysis run > 1000 words.

Miranda Lambert, Vice | Track Review 🎵

Miranda Lambert returns with ballad “Vice,” clearly a departure from the country artist’s feistier and more ferocious offerings.

Florida Georgia Line, May We All | Track Review 🎵

Florida Georgia Line returns with single, “May We All” featuring country veteran Tim McGraw. Respectable, “May We All” lacks the same magic of “H.O.L.Y.”

ZAPPER and DATGIRL collaborate to create an eccentric, ambitious, politically-charged song and music video, “Bang Bang, B*tches!”

French Montana, No Shopping | Track Review 🎵

French Montana delivers a banger with “No Shopping.” Problem is, He’s too selfless, allowing Drake to take over the spotlight.

Tinashe, Superlove | Track Review 🎵

Up-and-coming contemporary R&B/pop artist Tinashe drops a good record with “Superlove,” though arguably it’s not enough to elevate her superstardom.

Katy Perry, Rise | Track Review 🎵

Katy Perry returns respectably after a three-year hiatus with Olympic single, “Rise,” which doesn’t supplant her best work.

Grouplove, Welcome to Your Life | Track Review 🎵

Grouplove’s latest single may hail from a forthcoming album entitled ‘Big Mess’ but “Welcome to Your Life” is the furthest thing from a mess.

Banks, F**k With Myself | Track Review 🎵

Alternative musician Banks drops a bomb (an f-bomb specifically) with electrifying, explicitly honest single, “F*ck With Myself.”
